Abstract

Background: Tibial and FEMORAL FRACTURES, commonly seen in emergency departments, may be associated with various knee ligament injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of such fracture-associated knee ligament problems, with especial attention to rapid diagnosis.Methods: This study was carried out in patients with femoral or TIBIAL FRACTURES who were operated on in Imam Khomeini Medical Center from March 2003 to March 2005. All patients underwent surgical repair immediately after acute fracture, followed by a thorough knee examination. Patients with positive clinical findings were further evaluated using the stress view and arthroscopy.Results: We enrolled 470 cases in this study, of which 266 were tibial and 204 were FEMORAL FRACTURES. There were 404 men and 67 women; with an average age of tibial fracture patients were 34.5 and 44.6 years for those with FEMORAL FRACTURES. Of all fractures, 66% were due to car accidents, 16% to industrial accidents and 8% due to falling. The overall prevalence of ligament injuries in TIBIAL FRACTURES was as follows: 6.58% ACL tearing, 2.5% PCL, 21.95% MCL and 14.63% LCL. The overall prevalence of ligament injuries in FEMORAL FRACTURES was as follows: 6% ACL tearing, 3% PCL, 14% MCL and 8% LCL.Conclusion: The prevalence of ligament injuries of the knee was highest in distal femoral and tibial plateau fractures. It is prudent to perform a thorough knee examination once the fracture is stabilized in the operating room for the early detection of ligament injuries and prevention of further complications.
